Open Jolla Browser. Go to about:config. Search for download. Change browser.download.dir location to mount point of the sdcard. Accept changes. Restart Jolla Browser. The download dir is the default dir. Jolla 1 2.0.5.6 Haapajoki.

Unfortunately changing download directory is not supported by Sailfish Browser. Let's see what future brings.

As I can see the only solution is to mount the home folder from SD card like shown here: https://together.jolla.com/question/108669/11928-mounting-sd-card-as-home-partition-and-android-storage/

Alternatively you could mount only the download directory from SD card.

This isn't a solution for the inexperienced user so I wish an option to change the download folder too. Maybe one should consider adding an "move home and android to sd" in the devel options? Maybe for log files and config files too? Would be nice, as it saves the internal memory from wearing.
